    M35 emergency brake?

    If anything to get the truck moving back the adjustment nut off at the drum end of the cable. You may need to take a hammer (dead-blow preferred) to bang the pad free from the drum if its rusted. If your cable is ruined you're going to have to take this off anyway but you will atleast be able...

    Engine oil levels

    Its because the engine has not been run and the filters are empty. If you read on the dipstick it will say to run the engine, let it sit for 1 minute and then check it in the un-screwed position.

    m105 info needed please.

    The figures for the F150 you are referring to I think assume that you are going to have trailer brakes to help stop the load. Pulling it is not the issue, stopping it is.

    i came home today, only to see ....

    They dumped the 6.4L and went to the 6.7lL due to fighting with International. The 6.7 is now a "FORD" engine meaning its not being made by International.

    Someone ask us -Do you want a free Deuce

    No loadout assistance available....... Nice find though, wish it were in better shape as that would be really cool to see running again.

    'Correct' paint, incorrect tires.. how'd it look?

    Just throw some weight in the back and you'll do just fine with either tire setup. No weight and you might as well stay home with the truck or get a winch and anchor point to tie to as all you will do is spin the tires.

    m105 info needed please.

    I swear it didn't look that big until I hooked up to it :shock: Actually I pull mine with my F350 on occasion as well. I will do fine but like other has said the trailer is a heck of a lot bigger than it looks, especially once you hook it behind a pickup truck. Can't find my pictures of my...

    'Correct' paint, incorrect tires.. how'd it look?

    It all depends on how "original" you want the truck to look. 395's are not going to make the look.

    Anyone get an M911?

    Don't know what the limit is but I do know that when the musuem had one shipped into it we had to have the outter duals removed for width issues. 2 different places I looked online show 114" and 115" width.
